Dean says
library faces
budget woes
By Cindy Kimbrough
Staff Reporter
Cniversity libraries face a budget
crunch that will leave no real
alternative but to make sub
•~..F«on cuts devastating to some
University of Nebraska-Lincoln fac
ulty members’ needs, the dean of
libraries said.
Kent Hendrickson said Monday
that the library acquisitions budget
cannot continue supplying journals
and monographs, which are long ar
ticles on single subjects, because their
costs have risen at a faster rate than
anticipated.
The prices of the main science
journal subscriptions arc increasing
by from 16 to 18 percent, while
monographs are increasing from 10
to 12 percent, Hendrickson said.
He said one science publisher that
currently earns 11 percent of UNL’s
subscription budget has estimated that
its 1991 prices will increase from 30
to 36 percent.
Even with subscription rates soar
ing, he said, there is no projected
increase in the proposed state budget
to allow for library acquisitions.
Hendrickson said UNL is already
behind in periodical availability
compared to some of its peers.
"At UNL, another round (of cut
backs) would be even more devastat
ing than the one experienced in the
mid-80s," he said in the UNL librar
ies newsletter.
Three years ago, he said, UNL cut
$ 125,000 of its subscriptions and one
year later it hacked another $50,000.
which took care of duplicate sub
scriptions and the least heavily used
items.

The next cuts, which will not be
made before next year, will be more
harmful, he said, because the easy
decisions have been made.
Hendrickson said that to make up
for fewer available titles, UNL will
try to cooperate more with other li
braries in the Big Eight and in the NU
system.
He said libraries also are looking
at speeding up document deliveries
with electronic publishing, but this
will take time.
Before any decisions about sub
scription cuts are made, he said, li
brary faculty members along with
other faculty members will be con
sulted.
Ruling prompts Kinko’s
to obtain authors ’ OKs
By Jeremy Fitzpatrick
Staff Reporter
UNL professors who use photo
copied packets in their classes
should not be significantly
affected by a recent court decision
involving copyrighted material, a
representative of Kinko’s Graphics
Corporation said Monday.
The Court for the Southern Dis
trict of New York ruled last week that
college professors who use packets of
photocopied material in their classes
now will have to obtain permission
from each author used in the packets.
But Adrianna Foss, corporate
communications director for Kinko’s,
said the company will change its
procedures and obtain permission for
the use of copyrighted material at no
additional cost to professors or stu
dents.
“Costs could conceivably be raised
if publishers decide to charge a roy
alty, though,” she said.
The court decision stemmed from
a lawsuit filed against Kinko’s by
eight textbook publishers in April 1989
that asked the court to reinterpret a
section of the 1976 Copyright Act
that allowed the duplication of copy
righted materials for classroom use.
Judge Constance Baker Motley’s
decision last week limited the ability
for copyrighted material to be repro
duced for classroom use without per
mission.
Foss said the decision means pro
fessors who take their packets to
Kinko’s will have to submit material
earlier to allow the company time to
obtain permission for reproduction of
each item.
Richard Streckfuss and Michael
Stricklin, University of Nebraska
Lincoln journalism professors who
use packets with copyrighted mate
ria! in their classes, agreed that Kinko’s
had made a wise decision.
By taking the job of obtaining
permission to reproduce copyrighted
material, Kinko’s will alleviate a
burden on professors and students the
court decision could have created, the
professors said.
“The only added burden (for pro
fessors) will be having to submit the

More University of Nebraska
Lincoln students may be
parking their cars farther
away from campus and hopping on
university shuttle buses in the future,
members of the Parking Advisory
Committee suggested Monday.
The parking committee passed a
motion supporting a long-range plan
to “expand the shuttle system instead
of guaranteeing close, convenient
parking to everyone.”
Committee member Gordon Karels,
an associate professor of finance,
proposed the motion after UNL cam
pus landscaper Kim Todd presented
the committee with 10- and 20-year
long-range parking plans.
The plans call for consolidation of
parking on the west and southeast
comers of City Campus and would
eliminate parking north of Morrill
Hall.
Todd said the small lots within the
southern edge of campus will remain
even though questions had been raised
about creating a solely pedestrian
campus.
“We don’t feel that closing the
campus to vehicles is the answer,”
she said.
Todd said the plan puts more
emphasis on students who park in

UNL joins students in job search
By Alan Phelps
Staff Reporter_
A nationwide cutback in jobs offered by
corporate recruiters because of the re
cession has led UNL’s Caieer Planning
and Placement Center to reach out and touch
some companies, an official said.
Sandra Knight, assistant director of the Career
Planning and Placement Center at the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln, said the center began
a program two weeks ago to call all types of
companies and search for positions for gradu
ates.
“We’ve done this periodically but not on
this scale,” Knight said. “We occasionally tar
get certain groups, but this is the first time
we’ve really gone across the board. We’re
trying to tap some niches that aren’t tapped
normally.”
Knight said the idea to contact companies
grew from the center’s desire to counteract the
downturn in the number of companies recruit
ing on campus. She said she is unaware of any
college with a comparable program.
“Larry Roulh (director of the Career Plan
ning and Placement Center) thought we should
do something since recruitment was down. Wc
made a few exploratory calls and decided to do
it on a grander scale,” she said.
Companies arc selected from some of the
center’s directories, which arc provided by
organizations such as the Career Placement
Council, Knight said.
She said the five callers ask company offi
cials for information about the companies and
if they are hiring or would like to interview on
campus.
Although the program is just getting started,
Knight said, the response has been favorable.
“One company said they were laying off
people, but one of their branches did have a
need for a few people,” she said.
Knight said the calls arc time-consuming
for the center’s staff but will be continued as
long as they arc lucrative.
“Thccxtcnt to which we do it will depend on
staff time,” she said. “We’ll probably continue
into the foreseeable future.”
